Can I Install a Wood-Burning Fireplace in an Existing Home?
At Colorado Comfort Products, one of our specialties is installing wood-burning fireplaces in existing homes. Adding a wood-burning fireplace is a great way to boost your home’s comfort, beauty, and value. However, it’s important to remember that the installation process is complex and requires careful planning that can call for creating a safe and functional venting system to properly expel smoke and ensure proper airflow. This may involve constructing a new chimney or modifying an existing vent to work with the new addition. Our team has the expertise and tools to complete installation efficiently and safely.
You can rest assured that our staff of experienced technicians will meticulously assess your home’s layout and structure to determine the best possible location for your new fireplace and find the right venting solution. They will also ensure that the fireplace and chimney comply with all local building codes and safety regulations so that you can use your fireplace worry-free as much as you want.
What Are the Installation Requirements for a Gas Fireplace?
Unlike wood-burning fireplaces that rely on firewood, gas fireplaces require a connection to a gas line. If luck is on your side, there may be an additional gas line on or near your property that you can use to supply gas to your new appliance. If you don’t have access to a gas line, you’ll have to have one installed by a qualified professional to prevent gas leaks and to ensure the safety of you and your neighbors.
Proper ventilation is also a must for a gas fireplace. When you burn a fire in your hearth appliance, it produces smoke and other fine particles that can be harmful to your upper respiratory health. A proper vent or chimney can safely remove these combustion byproducts from your home. The type of venting system needed depends on the specific gas fireplace model, but direct vent, B-vent, and vent-free are the most common options. Electrical work may also be necessary for ignition systems and ventilation fans.
What Are the Benefits of an Electric Fireplace?
Electric fireplaces offer a modern and hassle-free alternative to both gas fireplaces and traditional wood-burning models. Some of those benefits include:
They’re easier to install.
Wood-burning fireplaces require chimneys or ventilation systems and often involve extensive installation processes that may include demolition. If living in a construction zone isn’t for you, an electric fireplace is incredibly simple to set up. You don’t have to deal with gas lines, venting, or complicated installations. With an electric fireplace, all you need is a suitable space and a standard electrical outlet.
They’re user-friendly.
With an electric fireplace, you can say goodbye to the pain of dealing with a traditional fireplace. No more lugging around heavy logs, splitting kindling, or dealing with messy ash. You won’t need to worry about storing firewood, scheduling wood deliveries, or dealing with fluctuating wood prices. Simply plug it in and enjoy the ambiance of a fire with the simple flip of a switch or click of a remote control.
They’re not high maintenance.
Wood-burning fireplaces produce soot, ash, and creosote that has to be cleaned out, otherwise, you’ll have an increased risk of a fire. Gas fireplaces don’t produce creosote, but soot could become a concern and you will have to clean the burners. Electric units do require a yearly checkup, but your day-to-day routine shouldn’t change much.
More placement options.
Unlike wood-burning units that are confined to specific areas of the home due to ventilation requirements and the need for a chimney, electric fireplaces can be placed virtually anywhere. You’re not limited by the location of a gas line, as is the case with gas fireplaces. You can enjoy the freedom of being able to move your electric fireplace from room to room, adapting to your changing needs and decor.
They’re better for the environment.
The environmental impact of fireplaces varies quite a bit depending on the fuel source. Wood-burning fireplaces release smoke, carbon monoxide, and other pollutants into the air while gas fireplaces burn fossil fuels that are known to contribute to carbon dioxide emissions and air pollution. Of your available options, electric fireplaces are generally the most environmentally friendly as they produce no direct emissions.
Better efficiency.
Electric fireplaces are the most efficient heating option because they convert nearly all electricity into heat, and their ability to provide zone heating allows for targeted warmth that can potentially reduce your overall energy costs. Wood-burning fireplaces are the least efficient because a significant amount of heat escapes through the chimney which doesn’t make them a viable primary heating source. Gas fireplaces fall somewhere between the two. Although they provide better efficiency than wood-burning models, you’ll experience some heat loss through venting systems.
Why Do I Need a Professional
To Install My Fireplace?
Contrary to popular belief, installing a fireplace isn’t a simple DIY weekend project. Our experienced technicians have the skills to handle all aspects of fireplace installation, from gas and wood-burning to electric models. We prioritize safety by ensuring proper venting to prevent dangerous gas buildup. We also handle the necessary permits and adhere to local building codes to guarantee a compliant installation.
Improper installation can lead to safety hazards, inefficient operation, and costly repairs. You can end up causing yourself a big headache that could have been easily avoided. Instead of costing yourself a few additional gray hairs, trust our professionals to deliver a flawless installation using high-quality materials and industry best practices. Our commitment to quality workmanship and adherence to industry standards guarantees a seamless installation process and a heating appliance you can enjoy for years to come.
How Much Does It Cost To Install a Fireplace?
It is difficult to answer this question without knowing more about a specific project. The type of fireplace you choose, the difficulty of the installation, and your home’s specific needs all play a role in the final price. We understand that every home is unique, and that’s why our services are tailored to meet your exact needs while ensuring your fireplace is both beautiful and safe.
Installing a traditional wood-burning fireplace often requires significant work on the chimney and home structure, which can increase the cost. Gas or electric fireplaces are a little different in that they typically involve less construction and can be a more budget-friendly option. The materials you select – such as high-end finishes or custom designs – can also affect the overall cost.
We’ve built our business on complete transparency. We offer detailed estimates after carefully assessing your space so that you can make informed decisions about your fireplace project before you proceed. Whether you’re dreaming of a brand-new fireplace or improving an existing one, we’re committed to delivering exceptional quality and value.

Is a Firepit Considered an Outdoor Fireplace?
While both firepits and outdoor fireplaces offer warmth and ambiance, firepits are a great option for creating a casual and inviting outdoor living space. Unlike outdoor fireplaces, firepits are open and versatile, allowing everyone to enjoy the fire from any angle. This makes them ideal for gatherings and entertaining guests.
While we do not currently install outdoor fireplaces, our team are experts in designing and installing stunning firepits that complement your backyard’s style. We offer a variety of options to suit your preferences, from classic stone to modern metal designs. Firepits are also easier to install and maintain compared to outdoor fireplaces, making them a practical choice for homeowners.
Do You Need to Vent an Outdoor Firepit?
Unlike indoor fireplaces, outdoor fire pits don’t require a sophisticated ventilation system. Designed to be enjoyed in open-air settings, they naturally release smoke and gases into the air. However, the placement of your fire pit is crucial for both safety and optimal enjoyment. To ensure your fire pit is safe and burns efficiently, we’ll carefully consider its location. We’ll take into account factors such as nearby structures, vegetation, and even wind patterns to identify the ideal spot.
Do I Need a Permit for an Outdoor Firepit?
Whether or not you need a permit typically depends on local regulations. Some areas have specific guidelines regarding size, location, and fuel type to ensure safety. Obtaining the necessary permits can be a tough process to navigate. You’ll need detailed plans and a thorough knowledge of local fire codes and zoning laws to cut through all the red tape.
When you choose to work with Colorado Comfort Products, none of that will be your problem. We provide in-depth support from design consultation to the final installation. Trust us to handle all the little details, so you can do what you were meant to – enjoy your new outdoor firepit with confidence, knowing that it is both safe and legally compliant.
